Vol. Teacher II - Commentary of Educational Articles - part II

          In this second part, I would like to tell a little about the history of education in Brazil.
  The first L.D.B.( lei de diretrizes e bases) of the national education sanctioned in 1961 became compulsory the elementary school indeed, because in 1937, was established this level as being free and compulsory but, omited the resources for its application.
         The second L.D.B., sanctioned in 1971 became compulsory the former 1ยบ grau.
         The third L.D.B. the current law, sanctioned in 1996, structured this way the education system
  Basic education.               Infant education  -  no compulsory.
          Fundamental education  -  compulsory.
          Secondary education  -  no compulsory, but trending for compulsority. Nowadays is lacking to clarify this. Yetstill is no compulsory, but there is project of law requiring it.
        Higher education  -  no compulsory.
        The third L.D.B. put compulsory for both sides in Fundamental education, this is, the government has to create places when there are not enough places for all children and teenagers, and no one can stay out of school in this level, so all parents must enroll their children. This is their duty.
